    makima-think Hmmm...right, THAT’S terrorism. But putting 2 million people inside a huge ass ghetto and bombing them for over a year straight is somehow not. The liberal world truly is a miraculous place filled with endless wonders.

      You can also write incel manifestos about killing every PoC and enslaving women then threaten to shoot up an elementary school but apparently that's fine because we have plenty of thoughts and prayers to hand out any time it happens.

      The Feds have more important problems to deal with, like imprisoning people who make frustrated comments at insurance companies or who sabotage weapons factories supplying an ongoing genocide.

    please change the post header. she's being charged, but hasn't been convicted or sentenced, yet. the maximum sentence she faces is 15 years, as i understand it, but she hasn't been "given" that.

    If I were a lawyer I'd take all the Fox News clips of anchors and congressmen saying people should mow down peaceful protestors because they block traffic.

    That is like a 'hey, don't do that' level of "crime". That's not an actionable threat, it's barely even a threat. Agreeing with the shooter doesn't mean you're also going to shoot a ceo. It's not illegal to want someone dead and express that sentiment.

      The only silver lining is those three kids now have the coolest, most badass mother in the entire school system.

    In case anyone was curious about the state of local journalism in this country, my friend works at a local news station in the area of this and sent me this text about it

    some of the reporters are saying “you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater” in reference to the briana boston story

    Which is one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve ever heard and is so very not relevant here. That doesn’t apply at all.

    A more realistic comparison would be telling a worker at the theater “I hope someone burns this place to the ground” which is 100% legal, protected speech. As was what Briana Boston said.

    I don't really know what to say other than that this pisses me the fuck off. I know i've said shit like this in the past and i know lots of people who've said shit like this. They're making her an example

      The judge even says it openly!

      A judge set her bond at $100,000, stating, “I do find that the bond of $100,000 is appropriate considering the status of our country at this point.”

      That’s not a valid reason to set someone’s bail! You’re supposed to set bail based solely on “Are they likely to show up to court and are they likely to commit another crime”

      Judge said “My friends at the last eyes wide shut party told me they were feeling very uncomfortable so now you get to be an example”
